Life
Twardowski studied philosophy with Franz Brentano and Robert von Zimmermann in Vienna . In 1892 he completed his dissertation on the subject of the difference between the clear and distinct perception and the clear and distinct idea in Descartes and received his doctorate. In 1894 he submitted his habilitation thesis on the teaching of the content and object of the presentations . In the following year he lectured in Vienna until in 1895 he was offered a chair in philosophy in Lemberg, where he stayed until the end of his life.
With his work there, Twardowski laid the foundation for the mathematically , logically and philosophically fruitful Lemberg-Warsaw School . Stanisław Leśniewski and Jan Łukasiewicz were among his students .
Philosophically he took the view of the Brentano School that an idea must always have an object of the idea.
